Natural products influence bacteriophage infectivity.
Review in Natural product reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Covering: 1942-2025Bacteriophages (phages) are obligate viruses that infect bacteria. The antibacterial effects of both phages and natural products shape microbial ecosystems and have yielded competing antibiotic strategies. Phages have also intersected many times with natural products research throughout the past century. To discover antiviral leads, natural products were screened for anti-phage activity. To discover new anti-cancer drugs, natural products were screened for the ability to trigger lysis by the λ prophage-indicating DNA damage. Now, the antibiotic resistance crisis motivates the study of natural products that can synergize with phages to improve antibacterial therapies. Beyond applications, these parallel natural "chemical" and "biological" antibacterial factors combine to shape microbial communities across our planet. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of natural products that modulate phage activities. We discuss their mechanisms of action, and we present opportunities for future research.
